The Year is RM.2003 under the drunken rule of King Bartek Gniado the Salt World had seen untold amounts of violence clashes between good and evil, It was a chaotic and destructive place where evil oppressed the meek and a high call for heroes was as necessary as food and water.

That is until the year RM.2000 when surprisingly and suddenly the drunken King Bartek was overthrown by a powerful nameless individual, all of his governors and lords clashed underneath this new ruler until finally a new bureaucratic order had taken over underneath the iron grip of the individual now calling himself the Imperius Sodius. All manner of Villains, Monsters, Heroes, and treasure hunters found themselves replaced and regulated into this new society, the Imperius's armies killed those too evil to comply, boarded up all of the dungeons and filled all of the caves with cement. Now those who staked their claim to high adventure eek out a living in the lesser salt mines just barely scraping by while those with professional trades and the ability to work long office nights prosper without any monsters to terrorize them.

That is until today, there is talk of a rebellion against the boring and uptight buracracy heroes and villains alike joining forces to rebuild the world they once knew, a world filled with traps, plunder,dungeoneering, and promiscuous damsels to screw!
WILL YOU FIGHT AGAINST THE EVIL BUREAUCRACY FORMER HERO/VILLAIN/MONSTER? OR WILL YOU REGULATE YOURSELF TO LIVING WITHIN THE CAVERNS OF THE SALT WORLD UNTIL YOUR LIVES END PREMATURELY AND YOU BECOME A MUMMY!? (A salt Mummy)

Rules:
You can be literally anything within reason, all Wizards of the coast official books are useable for source material (That is stuff like Players handbook 2, Libris Mortis, Dragonimicon, Savage species.etc) aslong as it follows a few simple rules
1. Stats when determining stats roll 4d6 6 times discounting the lowest roll I trust you enough that I don't need to see you roll
2. You start at ECL 3 ECL means effective character level so for instance if you wanted to be a Gnoll, or something with 2-3 HD (Hit dice) that would be 2 or 3 ECL without having an actual character class yet (So you could say be a Gnoll ranger lvl 1 but you'd still be as tough as a third level character)
3.Give me a good background about who you are, minimal 1 paragraph, anything you put in it IS CANON. Though this a mostly satirical fantasy i take RP seriously enough to improvise around the backgrounds of your characters, just don't go overboard :P .

Some insight on the Salt world, technology wise it leans on towards Victorian era technology but it is not outright steampunk and should not be considered as that. It has a crystalline roof and is very much like a large cave, there is no natural daylight all light is a mirror reflection from the magma core of the salt world that is regulated to reflect in various spots across the world to maintain a regular day night cycle.

It is also filled with a lot of drunks, all races/creatures exist within the Salt world most have been integrated into society in some way it wouldn't be uncommon to say see Centaur and Duergar and Goblins walk into the same bar at the same time.

As for the party I don't care if you're all spell casters or all melee classes or all one thing or if there is too much of anything, that doesn't matter to me what matters to me is that there is a minimal of 4 players and a maximum of 5, and that you create a character enjoyable to you don't feel obligated to play a tank, healer, or whatever unless you like the idea of being that then by all means kick some ass!

I'm leaning towards running this game at Saturday at 6pm CST on alternate nights from my Pokemon game, so we'll probably average 2-3 sessions a month which is pretty good, I may also run them on sunday until my gurps group picks up at the same time, we will also be using Skype and Maptools 1.3B87 which you can download here

Other than that any other questions feel free to post away I look forward to playing with you!

EDIT: I'm adding links to all source material to 3.5 in general in addition an internet character sheet website and a dice roller, if you've never played before and want to I will help you just ask.

Character sheets(Requires you to make an account but it saves a lot of work with auto calculation): http://www.dndsheets.net/sheet.php
